World Language-Spanish, Bachelor of Arts

Let us help you develop your bilingual superpowers!
The ability to speak Spanish and understand the many cultures of Spanish-speaking societies in the United States and abroad can give you an edge in any field while also providing you with the opportunity to serve others and contribute to society in two languages.

Students who complete our major come from various linguistic backgrounds. Some are just beginning their language journey, others have taken Spanish courses in the past, and others have learned Spanish at home and want to continue developing the gift their families have passed on to them. Our program is designed to serve all students and meet their unique needs.

Our program is different from most traditional programs in that our ultimate goal is to help students develop their communication skills so they can use them in real-world situations. While traditional programs focus on knowledge of grammar, we focus on language development. We push toward higher proficiency by having our students exercise their language skills through content-based, project-based, and community-based learning.

Our content-based courses include exciting topics such as Cultural Studies, Cinema, Migration, Food, Music, Business, Health, and Wellbeing, Gender Studies, Translation, etc. While learning about these fascinating topics, students expand their vocabularies and communication skills.
